Refrigerants for HVAC
Refrigeration & Automotive Applications
Polar Crest Refrigerants provides refrigerant products for compatible HVAC systems, commercial refrigeration equipment, automotive air conditioning, and other cooling applications.
Our catalog includes commonly specified refrigerants such as R-134a, R-410A, R-404A, R-407C, R-407A, R-448A, R-449A, R-452A, R-454B, R-507, R-422D, and R-438A, subject to the specifications of each individual product.
Whether you are reviewing refrigerant options for service work, replacement planning, commercial refrigeration, or larger purchasing requirements, you can browse individual products and review their specifications before making a selection.
Refrigerants for Different Cooling Applications
Refrigerants serve different types of equipment and operating conditions. A refrigerant that is suitable for one system should not automatically be assumed to work in another. Polar Crest Refrigerants covers several major refrigerant categories so customers can identify products based on their intended application and equipment requirements.
CATEGORIES
HVAC Refrigerants
HVAC refrigerants are used in compatible air-conditioning, heat-pump, and related comfort-cooling systems.
Products such as R-410A and R-454B are associated with specific equipment designs and operating requirements. Selection should always follow the equipment manufacturer's specified refrigerant and service requirements.
The refrigerant designation alone is not enough to determine whether a product is suitable for a particular system.
Commercial Refrigeration Refrigerants
Commercial refrigeration systems can use refrigerants designed for applications such as refrigerated cases, cold storage equipment, food-service refrigeration, and other commercial cooling systems.
Refrigerants found in this category include products such as R-404A, R-407A, R-448A, R-449A, R-452A, R-507, R-422D, and R-438A.
Each product has its own pressure characteristics, operating range, composition, and equipment considerations. Always verify the required refrigerant against the system specifications before purchase or service.
Automotive Refrigerants
Automotive air-conditioning systems use refrigerants selected according to vehicle design and the manufacturer's requirements.
R-134a remains a widely recognized automotive refrigerant for compatible vehicle air-conditioning systems, while newer vehicle platforms may specify other refrigerants.
Do not select an automotive refrigerant based only on cylinder size or a similar product name. Check the vehicle documentation and service specifications first.

Bulk Refrigerants
Some refrigerants are offered in larger cylinders, multipacks, or pallet configurations for customers with higher-volume requirements.
Bulk purchasing can be useful for service businesses, refrigeration contractors, automotive service operations, and other customers who regularly require refrigerant products.
Available packaging varies by product. A 25lb cylinder, for example, refers to the nominal net refrigerant contents and does not represent the total shipping weight of the cylinder and packaging.
Featured Refrigerants
Polar Crest Refrigerants offers a range of refrigerant products covering different applications and equipment requirements.
R-134a Refrigerant
R-134a is a well-known refrigerant associated with automotive air conditioning and various refrigeration applications. Its suitability depends on the equipment design and manufacturer's specifications.
R-410A Refrigerant
R-410A is an HFC refrigerant widely associated with compatible air-conditioning and heat-pump equipment. Systems designed for R-410A operate under specific pressure and component requirements.
R-404A Refrigerant
R-404A has been used extensively in commercial refrigeration applications. Its use is subject to equipment requirements and applicable refrigerant regulations.
R-407C Refrigerant
R-407C is a blended refrigerant used in certain air-conditioning and refrigeration systems. Because blended refrigerants have specific charging and service characteristics, equipment requirements should be checked before use.
R-407A Refrigerant
R-407A is a blended refrigerant associated with refrigeration applications and certain system conversion or replacement situations where specifically approved. Compatibility must be established for the individual system.
R-448A Refrigerant
R-448A is a blended refrigerant used in various commercial refrigeration applications. Its suitability depends on system design, operating conditions, and manufacturer requirements.
R-449A Refrigerant
R-449A is another blended refrigerant used in commercial refrigeration applications. Product selection should be based on equipment specifications rather than refrigerant similarity alone.
R-452A Refrigerant
R-452A is a blended refrigerant used in selected refrigeration and transport refrigeration applications. The appropriate application depends on the equipment and manufacturer specifications.
R-454B Refrigerant
R-454B is an A2L refrigerant used in equipment specifically designed for its characteristics. A2L classification indicates lower flammability under the applicable safety classification system, so equipment, service procedures, and applicable requirements must be followed.
R-507 Refrigerant
R-507, commonly identified as R-507A, is a blended refrigerant historically used in refrigeration applications. Its suitability depends on the specific equipment and applicable requirements.
R-422D Refrigerant
R-422D is a blended refrigerant associated with certain refrigeration and air-conditioning applications. Equipment compatibility should be confirmed before selection.
R-438A Refrigerant
R-438A is a blended refrigerant used in certain refrigeration and air-conditioning applications. The correct application depends on the equipment and the manufacturer's specified requirements.
Browse individual product pages for the specific cylinder size, product specifications, and application information provided for each refrigerant.

How to Choose the Right Refrigerant
Choosing a refrigerant starts with identifying what the equipment manufacturer specifies. Several factors can affect the correct selection, including:
Equipment manufacturer specifications
Refrigerant designation
System design
Operating pressure
Intended application
Required operating performance
Existing system components
Applicable regulations
Refrigerant Sizes and Packaging
efrigerants can be supplied in different cylinder configurations and quantities depending on the product.
Common packaging formats may include:
Small cylinders
20lb cylinders
25lb cylinders
30lb cylinders
Multipacks
Bulk pallets
A refrigerant should not be selected simply because it appears similar to another product.
Different refrigerants can have different pressure characteristics, compositions, safety classifications, temperature behavior, and system requirements. Even when two products serve related applications, that does not mean they can be substituted without appropriate technical approval.
If you are servicing existing equipment, check the manufacturer's documentation, equipment nameplate, service information, and applicable requirements before selecting a refrigerant.
For replacement or conversion work, use only refrigerants and procedures specifically approved for the equipment.
Net Refrigerant Weight vs. Shipping Weight
A cylinder described as a 25lb refrigerant cylinder generally refers to the nominal net weight of the refrigerant inside the cylinder.
The total shipping weight can be higher because it may include the cylinder, valve, packaging materials, and other components.
The same principle applies to 30lb cylinders and larger bulk quantities.
When ordering multiple cylinders or pallet quantities, consider the total packaged weight rather than adding only the listed refrigerant weights.
